Description
Describe the bug
TimeField is not in native time format. The TimeField is shown in the table as follows '00:00:04+00'.I just want it to be '00:00:04'.
'use_tz': False, same problem persists.
To Reproduce
from tortoise import Model, fields
SUPPORT_TYPE = (
(1, 'Payment'),
(2, 'Free'),
(3, 'Continuous'),
)
class User(Model):
id = fields.IntField(pk=True)
username = fields.CharField(max_length=20, unique=True)
password = fields.CharField(max_length=128, null=True)
first_name = fields.CharField(max_length=60, null=True)
last_name = fields.CharField(max_length=60, null=True)
email = fields.CharField(max_length=60, unique=True)
image = fields.CharField(max_length=60, null=True)
phone = fields.CharField(max_length=30, null=True)
created_at = fields.DatetimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated_at = fields.DatetimeField(auto_now=True)
def full_name(self) -> str:
if self.first_name or self.last_name:
return f"{self.first_name or ''} {self.last_name or ''}".strip()
return self.username
class Customer(Model):
id = fields.BigIntField(pk=True)
code = fields.CharField(max_length=30, null=True)
name = fields.CharField(max_length=200)
image = fields.CharField(max_length=60, null=True)
website = fields.CharField(max_length=120, null=True)
description = fields.TextField(null=True)
class Meta:
ordering = ["name"]
def __str__(self) -> str:
return self.name
class Support(Model):
id = fields.BigIntField(pk=True)
customer = fields.ForeignKeyField('models.Customer', on_delete=fields.CASCADE)
user = fields.ForeignKeyField('models.User', on_delete=fields.CASCADE)
support_type = fields.SmallIntField(choices=SUPPORT_TYPE)
created_date = fields.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
created_time = fields.TimeField()
duration = fields.TimeField()
class Meta:
table = 'support'
def __str__(self) -> str:
return self.customer.name
from models import User, Support
from sanic import Sanic, response
from tortoise.contrib.sanic import register_tortoise
app = Sanic("WebServer")
@app.get("/support_list")
@app.ext.template("support_list.html")
async def list_support(request):
objects = await Support.all()
return {"objects": objects}
register_tortoise(
app,
db_url="postgres://postgres:root@localhost:5432/myweb",
modules={"models": ["models"]},
generate_schemas=True
)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000, debug=True, auto_reload=True)
Expected behavior
I am using Sanic framework postgresql database with Tortoise-orm.

Research direction
No repository file or test is named. Reproduce the shown TimeField example with PostgreSQL and trace where its value is formatted for the table; done means the displayed value is 00:00:04 rather than 00:00:04+00, with regression coverage for the reported case.
